I have been trying to get a distressed/value add LTR property under contract in my local market for some time now.

conventional 25% downHow did you add value to the deal?

And I feel the most limited sympathy for it.

How did you add value to the deal?

Starting out in real estate can feel overwhelming, but breaking it into clear steps makes it manageable.

It’s important to do your due diligence on the specific properties and local market conditions to ensure they meet your investment goals.If you'd like more information on how to finance these types of properties feel free to DM me.

From a pricing perspective it rents are now 1/2 of what they were that could have a big impact on the value of the property.

Coffered ceilings, low corner additions etc.Anyone can slap lipstick on a pig, looking for high value add in high demand markets is where the $ is.

However, there's an obvious loophole to the claim because if you buy a house for 999K and then the value goes over 1 million then technically you're one of the 90% that just became a millionaire through real estate :) REIT investing is a much less active way of investing into the 11 major real estate sub-sectors, in the US we have 274 listed REITs on the major exchanges of NYSE and NASDAQ, and about 75-80 of them are not equity REITs but rather mortgage REITs, which I like to park cash in when 10yr yields are trending down to give me capital appreciation plus 14-15% dividend yields. check out alreits | Global REIT Researchto do more thorough individual research.

I don’t care if you steal a property, high quality tenants will never sacrifice on being safe and feeling safe.
